Re: interested in international teaching
Posted by Patti on 3/28/06
I worked for four years at a small locally-owned, foreign-
managed school in China. I got the job by answering directly
an internet ad at a teacher website. I have not dealt with
ISS. A cheaper, still effective alternative is suscribing to
TIE Online. My former school and many other large and small
schools around the globe advertise in TIE. Recruiting season
has already started, so hurry if you're looking for something
in the fall.
